    Description

    Hey, I'm Fiona. I live in the countryside with my two canine friends and a wild hen in a small town called Rota. I've been refurbishing the house for the past year and a half, and I am looking for help to finish the last bits before autumn to concentrate on growing veggies.
    Even though the house is off-grid, it's only a few minutes away from shops, bars, restaurants, and the beach! It´s the perfect place for anyone looking to visit the area.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    I settled down in my hometown after being away for 18 years. I speak Spanish, English, and French and can offer language and cultural exchange. Rota is in a fantastic location to visit beautiful cities like Cádiz, Sevilla, Granada, and Córdoba.

    This is the perfect place for workawayers who would like to learn/improve their Spanish/English. I come from a mixed Spanish/Irish family so you will get to experience both. The experience will offer you language exchange, getting to know a beautiful an traditional area of Spain. I will introduce you to local food, be a tour guide at times (if you would like that), and guide you to places you shouldn't miss while you are in the area.

    I work from home so I will be available most of the time. I am friendly and interested in getting to know how people live their lives in other parts of the world. Being a traveler myself, I can also offer interesting conversations over dinner and language exchanges.

    I can offer a private room with a single bed that converts to double. I can accommodate up to two people and the bathroom will be shared with me. Workawayers will be responsible for their food, although I am open to cooking and having dinner together.

    I work from home and I am happy to welcome anyone who also works remotely. I use my phone to connect to the Internet. I've never used it with two devices at the same time, so it would be best if you have your connection as I don't have a Wifi connection.

    I live with two dogs and a wild hen. I am happy to accept other pets as long as they are ok to be around other animals.
